Hi,
I found this "insect" in my bed last night and I really want to know what it is. I've asked a few people and no one seems to know what it is. I thought it looked slightly like a grasshopper but it has "stings" at the back. There are two legs missing, one from each side, a back and a middle leg.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'd say that is a Cricket, from the Gryllidae family.
